winnowExplanation
Explanation for Correct Answer D : Choice (D) is correct. "Winnow" means to sort out. If one were to insert this term into the text, the sentence would read "A discerning publishing agent can winnow promising material from a mass of submissions, separating the good from the bad." A discerning person is one who can see important differences clearly, so such a person would be appropriate for the job of sorting out good manuscripts from less promising ones. To separate the good from the bad is a good definition of "winnow."Related questions
